Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to data synchronization and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for synchronization log driven data synchronization. In one embodiment of the invention, a data synchronization method can be provided to include assembling a group of initial updates for synchronization, consulting a synchronization log of updates excluded from past synchronizations to determine updates already applied during past synchronizations, removing updates already applied during past synchronizations from a filtered set of updates, and synchronizing the filtered set of updates. In this regard, assembling a group of initial updates for synchronization can include assembling a group of initial updates having a timestamp greater than a timestamp for an immediate past synchronization.

Different types of forms may include facsimile, memorandum, invitation, user profile and other applications. Forms for each application may include predetermined form fields that are specific to each application. Forms may be created, modified and forwarded (or sent) to one or more selected recipients. Other operations may also be performed.

System and method for providing access to forms for displaying information on a wireless access device

A system, method and computer program product provide functionality via a non-natively coded application on a client device. Initially, user input is received on a device. A pattern is replayed on the device. Navigation of the pattern is managed. Data is retrieved based on the user input utilizing at least one connector, as specified in the pattern. Finally, the retrieved data is output. A system, method and computer program product are also provided for creating an application for a client device. The functionality of the desired application on a device is provided by selecting functional computer code that processes data. The functional computer code does not include coding to the native API's of the device. One or more connectors are selected and programmed to interface with programs on the device for retrieving data for processing. One or more output nodes are generated for outputting the processed data from the device. The functional computer code, connectors, and output nodes are stored in a device-resident pattern for installation on the device. The retrieved data is processed by the functional computer code upon replaying of the pattern for providing the functionality.

System for replaying and synchronizing patterns on a client and external data source devices
